Constructors’ Guild

All CM students are members of the Constructors’ Guild. This organization includes
the student chapters of the following national organizations under the interest area
groupings below:

Sigma Lambda Chi

(SLC) is the national scholastic honor society for the profession of Construction. The
purpose of SLC is to recognize outstanding academic achievement. The Society started
in 1949 at Michigan State University and now has 46 chapters in the U.S. and several
foreign countries. The national office is located at Purdue University in West Lafayette,
IN. The local chapter is Rho-2, which formed shortly after the Construction program
started at Southern Polytechnic State University. Membership is by invitation and
is for life. The members are those students who meet the highest academic standards;
requirements for selection of undergraduate students to membership in the Society
include a 3.0 GPA, a minimum residence period at Southern Polytechnic of two semesters,
completion of at least two 3000 level Construction courses, and participation in extracurricular
activities. Candidates must also exhibit character traits which will reflect creditably
upon the University and the Construction profession. The top 1/3 of Graduate Students
are also eligible for membership. The local student chapter periodically engages in
charitable work and the members assist newer students with their academic and extracurricular
endeavors.
